 - Oxford :  Blackwell Publishers Limited,  June 2000 
<br/><br/> In the public sector, corporate governance is an expression that is yet to be explicitly defined. This paper examines the existing public sector literature in order to derive a set of broad principles of corporate governance iin the public sector. These principles are then applied through a content analysis of corporate governance disclosures in a group of government-owned corporations, state government departments, local governments and statutory bodies. The results indicate the set of principles derived is generally applicable to various forms of public entities. However, due to a lack of an established public sector corporate governance framework, the disclosure of corporate governance is piecemeal. Government-owned corporations achieved better disclosure practices in most principles than other public sector bodies. The paper aims to stimulated debate on public sector corporate governance and provides a basis for a more extensive survey on  corporate governance disclosures
